I couldn't find a good place to do it in SF, so I did mine in San Mateo at Best Images.

supposely they do have a lifetime warantee on the fading and bubbles. I did mine for 100 also but never had gone back to redo it since they did a pretty good job. But look for a guy name David, which owns a tC also. He should hook you up. remember to bring cash.

Best Image actually used two pieces of tint for doing the rear window to get a clean install. My friend in the other hand went to the same place and got one peice a year before I got mines done. I guess it's much better to have two for getting rid of bubbles and etc.

I'm not sure what tint do they used but I remember someone said they used Madico or something... I know it started with a M. Or at the shop they also have the 3M display so it can also be that.

Hello peeps,
I'm preordered with deposit at two different dealerships waiting for my tC RS2.0. Can't wait till it actually shows up! Just wanted to say hello. I'm in SF near Geneva & Mission, but often I'm in sunset at my gf's house. Can't miss the blue 02 corolla S with the missing front hubcab (yah, ghetto, but I don't care since the tC is coming). WHATTUP KRISPULO!
Oh yah, any of you SF peeps know a good place or guy to get an alarm installed for the tC? I don't want some place botching the job.

ALLEN!!!!!!!
Howdy bro, welcome to the dark side. once you go Scion, there's no real turning back! (unless you get taste, then you could always upgrade to an infinity or benzo.)

I'm the unknown trouble marker on this site, a few of the other ones have already been banned. Welcome, ask around, don't worry about people telling you to use the search button, and be understanding with some folks having a problem with you getting a tC.

Congrats bro, I'll talk to you real soon. Our best to Victoria also!!

PM me about the better website.

Sup bro, I still haven't really checked out your bB. Need to take it for a ride one of these days.

Fox, I like those HIDs! Did you do a harness or just plugged into the regular light socket?

^ $100 bucks is a great deal. They did a great job on the tint job. Actually on the other hand my celica buddies had some bad experience with them.... but aside for all the tC guys that I know that gotten the tint done there had positive feedback.

Yea. I went pretty early last time on a weekday and they finished in 1 1/2 hours just as they promised. Looks great, no bubbles or anything like that.

I seriously feeling guilty publicly saying the 100 dollar deal since they probably arent making as much money as they should be making.
